Fearrington Village Wedding | Vickie + Ben

The Meeting…
Vickie opted not to go on a “first date” (a.k.a. a day-long snow-shoe-expedition) that Vickie’s sister set up. Luckily, that same week Vickie’s co-worker realized that she was good friends with Ben’s then roommate and was planning on going to Ben’s Super Bowl party. Vickie decided that a Super Bowl party was a much more appropriate venue for a meeting than snow shoeing, and decided to tag along.

The Proposal…
It was their 3 year anniversary. Ben told Vickie that he had dinner reservations but that he wanted to grab a drink first. He told her to meet him at the High Line, an old elevated train track that has been converted into a pedestrian walkway/greenspace where they love to walk. As the sun was setting, Ben proposed. Vickie blacked out and doesn’t really remember anything. Luckily, Ben booked a room at the hotel that overlooks the spot where they got engaged so they went there to have champagne, call their families and regroup. Afterwards they went to watch some music at a bar overlooking the city and then to their favorite restaurant in the hip East Village neighborhood. As his smoothest move, Ben had Vickie’s boss book a fake meeting for the next morning (they got engaged on a Wednesday) so they were able to sleep in, get brunch, and enjoy their first morning as an engaged couple together!

“Hi y’all! I mean what do we even say back to this. Ben and I landed out of town at a friends wedding and ran to our room to watch the video – about 20 times. We cried, sent it to our parents, watched it over the phone together – they cried and all of us have been watching it on repeat ever since. We don’t know how to thank you guys enough. You are so, so talented and amazing people to boot. This is beyond our wildest expectations. We love it we love it we love it! Thank you guys so so so so much!”…Vickie, Bride

There is not a better team than Heart Stone Films from both a personality and talent standpoint. They get to know you as a couple and create a story through film that makes you feel they have known you for years. They are storytellers, artists, and creators – not videographers – this is what sets them apart from others who just edit film. I give Heart Stone my highest reco – I could not love a team more than I loved them. You will be lucky if you can get them!!

I LOVED working with Chris and Toni. From the second you meet them, you'll understand that they are a kind and warm couple with the best eye for great moments. My husband and I got married in the middle of a hurricane, but it never phased them. They were always one step ahead of us, capturing beautiful moments and serving as a wonderful source of joy during our wedding and reception. Aside from what a joy they were to work with, their work product is unparalleled. No one creates more genuine or beautiful videos. I suggest going to their website for more! There is truly no one better. If you have the chance to work with Chris and Toni, do it!

Chris and Toni were amazing to work with! They created such a beautiful film for my husband and I, we still cry everytime we watch it! They are so different than other film companies because they have a special gift for telling the story. They are amazing at bringing the wedding to life again, it's amazing! I can't say enough about how wonderful they are, I would recommend them to anyone!!
